I am curious how many of the posters here swam in high school, college, etc. and how close to the top you got. Thus the following not terribly detailed poll.
Started playing water polo as a sophmore in high school, liked it so joined the swim team in the spring. Walked on at UCSB mainly for polo, swam as well. Made NCAA's cuts in 50/100 free & 100 fly and all 3 relays sophmore, junior (made trails cuts in 100 fly & 100 free) and senior years, university games team member senior year, stayed a 5th year and played polo taking 3rd at ncaa's...took some time off to travel europe and came back and swam in 84' trials (100 free).
